The 26 Lunar Flare Gong is named after the ring of brightness that appears around the moon. It embodies the eternal of Earth’s only satellite, yet we know the flare only because of today’s technology, which made it possible to capture this previously unseen and beautiful phenomenon.
It has a deep sound, though not as sharp as its sister, the Solar Flare Gong. The rim focuses and clarifies the overall sound, which lingers pleasantly. There’s lightness, like the light from the moon that pierces the thick of night. Deep sound emanates and expands and transforms dark to light.

The 26 Mother Tesla Gong is an unlathed gong. It looks how a gong looks when it comes out of the oven. Most Chinese gongs have this color when they come out of their cast mold, but then are lathed to create different tones.
In the gong world, it’s good to keep in mind that the smaller the gong the clearer the tone. The darker the color tone, the slower it is to crash. Mother Tesla Gong, with its unlathed exterior maintains a deeper tone. It doesnt crash like a Wind Gong, or even a Chau, but remains steady and focused on the deep, dark, fundamental tone with low and mid-range harmonics.

The Sun Gong, what we at Gongs Unlimited call the Solar Flare Gong, is a less traditional Chinese Gong than some of the other styles. Its a more recent design created by Chinese gong makers and is available to all gong sellers, so we felt compelled to put it in the Traditional section. It is basically a Wind Gong, but with concentric bands of lathed and unlathed circles. The unlathed parts control the crash and splash, less than a Wind Gong. The rings concentrate the tones and it does not open up sound-wise like a fully lathed gong.

Made exclusively for Gongs Unlimited, our 26 Subatomic Gong is the perfect option for your collection of sound healing tools. A simple metaphor: Subatomics are to our Chau Gong as the black keys on a piano are to the white.
The Subatomic creates a mystic tone when struck with complex overtones building over the top. Often, striking it in the different concentric rings will give you a slightly different tone each time, adding to the mystique of these gongs. It sounds beautiful for both music and meditation.
For those using it to heal, the Subatomic gong is wonderful for helping face tough internal issues with aplomb. It helps move those darker energies out. These gongs will allow you to tap into your reserve of strength to heal and grow into a greater person.

The 26 Trilogy Gong shares kinship with our Mother Tesla gongs, being mostly unlathed save for the point in the center and the three shining rings that encircle it. It has a deep, layered sound. It is slower to crash and maintains a sonorous, oscillating tone.
Great things often come in threes: primary colors, states of matter, blind mice, and rings on an Unlimited Trilogy Gong. The rings on this gong help give it a steady tremolo, or ripple effect. Fitting, as the rings resemble a ripple in still water. (perhaps made when there was no pebble tossed nor wind to blow, as The Grateful Dead would say)
The 26 White Gong has a rim like a Chau Gong but is also fully lathed like a Wind gong. As expected, the White Gong has qualities of both these traditional Chinese gongs. The full lathing creates a bright, airy sound with a shiny splash, but the rim focuses that splash, and gives clarity to the overall sound.
If the Wind Gong is a soprano, the White Gong is an alto. It can be played gently and will create a tone that is both musical and meditative.
The 26 Wind Gong is fully lathed, all shiny. It also does not have a rim; it is flat on the edge. This design gives the Wind Gong its splashy celebratory tone when struck with a quick fast attack. It has many sonic flavors, overtones and harmonics and unique pockets of tone that can sound like analog synthesizers with long sustain. Take a little time with the 26 Wind Gong. Youll love it.

The base of each vertical of our Lunaphonic Wood Gong Stand is moon-shaped. Two half moons that equal a whole, supporting a big, full moon shaped gong.
On this planet, we cannot escape the influence of the Moon. Our lives as spirit are begot from the Sun, but our love and emotions grow thanks to the Moon.
She makes us sing, cry and caress. She makes us howl and dance. Our lunacies flow from her to us, and then back to her. And it all sounds remarkable, a Lunasymphony heard via Lunaphonic stereo.
